"I've already been where you are going, and you will have everything you need." -God
*Sigh*
How good does that statement make you feel?
I am utterly amazed at how many people I know and love that search for answers through pyschics, zodiac, and people who "talk to the dead". *shiver* ;)
There is no life in that...
I don't need to do that, they have no answers for me.
God...lives...IN...me.
Everything about me was done on purpose.
God thought about me, created me with His hands, leaned in close and breathed life into my spirit, soul and flesh.
Picture yourself there.
Can you snuggle into that thought?
Picture it, feel it...I'll give you a minute...;)
How personal and intimate is that? Such intimacy, intense intimacy.
When I surrendered to His Truth, His Son...His unconditional Love...I came alive to His purpose, His desire and His vision for my life.
At that moment, He whispered all of that into my heart. Putting eternity in my heart. He didn't send His Son to make sure I got to heaven, although that is what awaits me on the finish line. *smile and sigh*
No, He has a specific reason for me. He has something for me to do, that accomplishes His will.
It's not about me...it's about His will. It's about eternity, His Kingdom...Him.
When I accepted Jesus on that lonely, scared, dark, and hopeless day...I came alive.
I wasn't at an altar, I didn't need a preacher to lead me in a prayer, I didn't sign a card, there was no one there, but me and Him. *sigh*
His Holy Spirit flooded me, and the reason He created me was released in my spirit.
Jesus and His compassion gave me life and purpose. No more, searching...I had looked in to the eyes of Life and He gave me hope.
He told me "you're beautiful"....
Snuggled in His lap, He said.."come on, I have so much to show you, teach you, and give you."
And "you have something to do too". He promised His Spirit to guide and direct me.
Purpose, desires and vision.
It speaks to me daily. Sometimes it's so loud that I can't get away from it, other times it seems I can't hear it at all. But...
when I ignore it, I'm empty, confused and frustrated.
I have been there the past few years. There...I said it out loud, well...it's in print anyway. ;)
I have been running, tail tucked. (I really can run like that, ask my girls...giggle)
I spent a weekend at my Dad's house, a wonderful time with my dad and sisters. God spoke to me so much during that time. My sisters and I had some wonderful heart to heart talks.
Real stuff. (which I love)
God...did what He does. He reminded me how much He loves me and He showed me results of answered prayer.
I saw Him in every face I was with that weekend.
It was beautiful.
He held me so close, and whispered in my spirit...
"come back, I have so much more for you to do"
*tears*
Okay...
Here I am, writing again...He is taking me on a journey. I think it will probably include a rollercoaster ride, but I need the excitement.
It's for Him...to accomplish His purpose, for His will and for His Kingdom.
I am pursuing it with passion...because I can feel it and hear it.
I don't know how it is going to go, I don't know where He is taking me.
But, His Spirit is in me...with all the answers.
That is where my answers will come from. It's Life.
If my God is with me, who do I have to fear?
Back to the first thing I blogged...
"I've already been where you are going, and you will have everything you need" -God
That's good enough for me. ;)

Hello Tracy, this is my first visit to your blog, and I have to tell you I love it!! I, too have been running with my tail between my legs, but my tail has started to show itself here lately and my running has become more of a walk with long stops in it. Today after reading your blog, I feel very comforted. I feel very secure, no matter the path or ride, He has been there before me and He has provided me with all I need to ride the ride...I haven't been listening to Him lately, I think out of fear, selfishness, and pride, but I know who all those feelings and thoughts come from, and I WILL NOT let him stand in my way any longer. I will start listening and hearing His voice, because I have found strength in knowing He has been there before me and with Him I can handle it...Sometimes it takes a dear friend that He has placed in my life to help me hear Him and stop running.....to be still and know that He is God He is here....thank you my dear friend!!! Love always, Shelly Atwood
